Robert Downey Jr Promises Special Birthday Present To Boy Who Saved Sister From Dog Attack
Tom Holland, too, has something in store for six-year-old Bridger Walker.
It looks like The Avengers are sending more gifts to Bridger Walker, the six-year-old boy who saved his younger sister from an attacking dog on July 9.
After Bridger’s aunt, Nicole Noel Walker, shared her nephew’s heroic act on Instagram, Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, responded by promising to send Bridger — who suffered head injuries that required 90 stitches — an authentic shield used by the Marvel superhero.
Not to be outdone by Evans, Robert Downey Jr and Tom Holland — who play Iron Man and Spider-Man, respectively in the Marvel movies — have also prepared some gifts for Bridger.
In a video message to Bridger, Downey Jr, 55, said, “Bridger, you’re a rock star... I hear [Captain America] sent a shield your way. I’m going to do one better, you call me on your next birthday. I’ve got something special for you.”
He added, “By the way, that’s a promise and promise beats a shield.”
